In making up his mind about signing the
Central Park Parade Ground bill, it is to be
hoped that Governor Hill will consider the
question on its merits. Surely there are no
votes at stake, or if there are, no one can doubt
that more voters oppose the measure than favor
it. If it becomes law the vanity of few
officers mot all by any means) in the National
Guard will be gratifed. But thousands of
other citizens, both rich and poor, will be in
censed. Both these classes get immense pleas
ure out of the Park In its present state. Every
beauty there is highly appreciated and with
united voice they demand that the Park shall
not be harmed in any way. This Is certain to
be made apparent at the hearing.
: 1t is hard to please every one A reader of
THE TRIBUNE who signs himself "Infehx"
writes to say that his sleep is murdered by the
removal of ashes and garbage at night The
unhappy one wants the streets cleaned In the
daytime His letter is full of feeling, but it is
not a circumstance to the wrathful epistles
that were sent to this paper while the old plan
of day removal was in force. Whichever sys-
tenn is adopted, some one is sure to be mad
about it. There is no doubt, however that
"Infelix - is right on one point: there is no
reason why the drivers of the carts and their
assistants should howl like dervishes while at
work. Their task can just as well be done
without oaths and in comparative quiet. If the
police would arrest few of these yelling,
cursing collectors and lock them up for disor
derly conduct, a pleasing reform might be
started.
1t is gratifying to note that the Indus
trial Education Association of University
Place has obtained a marked success,
and that its future is assured. 1t is
not at all charitable institution some of
its pupils are the children of excellent old fam
lilies in this city, the heads of which appreciate
the wisdom of training their sons in the me-
chanical arts. What they learn is not only an
accomplishment, but safe store against evil days.
1t Is highly desirable that this work shall be ex-
tended to boys who hope to earn living in
some trade for it would give them what care
full observers now declare to be the greatest
need among socalled skilled labOrers-a trained
eye and hand, which will enable them to dis
pense with many tools which the unframed
man has to handle. The project of the people
back of the University lace institution to
found college for the education of teachersin
manual training is In every respect commend
able.
General BENJAMIN +. Butler is the same
amusing, but somewhat incorrect, person OF
old. An interview with him reported else
where in The TRIBUNE this morning is re-
freshing proof thereof. What the General
says is interesting. That's his way-to make
things interesting. It's not necessary. however,
in order to enjoy the Generals chat, that all his
remarks must be accepted as true beyond cavil.
For instance, when General Butler declares
that after JACOB Sharp got the Broadway fran
chise "the entire press of this city praised him
~ great public benefactor,' the statement
